The street racing where people cram a ton of POS econoboxes on to one street and take turns flying by bystanders is retarded.

One time, a 350Z pulls up to a small, saturday night meeting we are having with about ten cars. His buddy, and two guys on bikes pull in after him. Later an RX8, and a EK hatch come in to meet him too. Can you guess I live by a military base with said cars? lol. Anyway the first thing the Z owner says is "Who wants to race me?" He said he hadn't gotten any races since being stationed there. He instantly targeted my debadged GTP. Claimed he only had an intake and "lightening mods" and wanted a race. I refused twice.

After hearing about 30 minutes of his **** talking, he picks out my buddies 1998 or 99 Z28. It's ran as good as low 13s, pretty stout, nearly stock car. I tell him if he'll race said Z first, I'll follow with his gf and race him after. We knew of a good spot.

After agreeing to: first; a race with the Z28 and then a race with me, we start to go to our cars. We tell the other tools who rode up to stay behind. We would only be gone a few minutes. My friend pulls out, and I follow. SLOWLY. The 350Z, followed by a 3.8 Impala SS, followed by an EK hatch, followed by an RX8, followed by two crotch-rockets, all haul ass, burning rubber out of the parking lot. The sounds were followed by the "WHHHIIINGGG WEEEEEEEEEEN WAAHH WAH WAH WOB WOB WOB" of 6 engines displacing under 4 liters. We reach a light less than a quarter mile away, cross the light, and see cherries and blueberries. For. God's. ****ing. Sake.

He announces through the loudspeaker "ALL OF YOU pull over." We make the light, and both cruise out of there. The Impala and Z haul ass to follow us. I got rid of them at a light and went home. The bikes and RX8 pulled over.

People are just so damn stupid. Everyone should take street racing etiquette. If there was some way to weed the idiots out of street racing, the world would be a much better place.
